The Divine Hunter Chapter 14: The answer is inside

In front of the dark stone door decorated with a mysterious ring like an ouroboros.

The demon hunters surrounded the mutated tree man angrily.

The anti-magic metal chains tied it tightly.

The bladed leaves, fluorescent mushrooms, bright red berries, and beautiful garlands on the umbrella-shaped branches have lost their vitality and drooped sickly.

And the man in the center of the tree trunk, which is made up of branches and shrubs, has a contemptuous sneer on his face.

Ignore Roy's question.

It seems to be **** by five flowers, and it is the winner of this battle.

"You moldy and rotten wood, keep running away!"

Lambert touched his bare upper brow bone, suddenly shook his wrist, and swung his steel sword.

唰唰

Two branches as thick as arms on the crown of the tree broke and fell.

Green blood splashes!

The branches that fell to the ground were like poisonous snakes that had been cut into pieces, squirming, struggling, and then shriveled up and became dead.

Idalan screamed in pain, a circle of bloodshot eyes appeared in his fluorescent eyes, and he glanced at everyone nervously,

"What qualifications do you have to glare at us and show off your face?!"

Pfft

Ox outlined an Igni with his five fingers, the flames boiled, and the tree crown twisted painfully in the flames, wailing like a baby sobbing.

"I swore when I was soaking in the acid pool that you would be so miserable that you would taste the pain we suffered twice as much!"

"Humph!"

Shu Lian's cheeks were deformed in pain, but he still had a sarcastic smile.

"Everyone, don't rush for revenge, let's clarify the matter first." Lei Suo rubbed his bald head, his amber pupils gleaming coldly,

"Idalan, although you are bound to die, if you cooperate honestly, you will suffer less before your death." The big man paused, "Otherwise, I guarantee that you will enjoy a more exciting experience than the Demon Hunter Green Grass Trial. experience."

The pair of eyes decorated with fluorescent mushrooms rotated, and the sparse green beard trembled,

"I admit that I underestimated you. Your combined strength is no less than that of the four first-generation demon hunters."

"But the fist is big enough, but the brain is empty." A pair of flashing fluorescent eyeballs calmly glanced at the pair of vertical pupils in front of him that were about to spit fire, "A reckless man will be a reckless man after all. You are just a group of people." Ants with narrow vision and short-sightedness! They are always trapped in a monotonous plane world and cannot detect the excitement of higher dimensions."

……

Kalkstein raised his eyebrows with his hands on his hips, "Your Excellency is so obsessed with body modification and likes to spit **** out of his mouth, why don't I help you. Being a tree is too boring. I'll graft your brain into a human-faced monster. On the bird's butt, your mouth will also have another function that suits your wishes. Isn't it so bad-mouthed and tough-tongued?"

Coral held a lock of hair between her fingertips, with blue flames burning in her eyes, as if she wanted to ignite his tree trunk, "We will definitely treat you well, after all, you are an excellent experimental material."

"There are at least two thousand wonderful experiments waiting for you. Acid corrosion is not even a side dish among them."

"Don't worry, you can live a long time."

The stiff tree face finally showed humiliating anger.

It gritted its teeth and avoided the direct gaze of everyone. Its eyes swept over the dilapidated botanical garden, and the bushes and vines looked like they were damaged by frost. There was nostalgia and heartache in their eyes.

Roy had an idea.

"If you don't tell the truth, this botanical garden you have carefully cultivated will immediately turn into a sea of ​​​​fire and ruins."

Five fingers outline.

A flame danced lively between the fingers.

The temperature in the air suddenly rose several degrees,

"After solving you, we can also find the answer ourselves."

Idalan's eyes suddenly widened, and a trace of vivid fear flashed across the face of the withered tree.

Sighed bitterly.

"Our patience is limited..." Eskar slapped its umbrella-shaped branches with a steel sword, "If you say more nonsense, I will cut off one of your arms!"

"What conspiracy are the four great masters and Arzu planning inside?"

Roy asked.

"Use the so-called fragment of the Supreme to develop the mysterious red light and purify the entire world of sin?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at the closed stone door behind it.

……

"Breathe...breathe...you have to promise me not to destroy the botanical garden. Then, I will tell you everything I can tell you."

He looked directly at Roy.

There was actually a hint of pleading in his crazy, irritable, and angry eyes.

Everyone exchanged looks.

"You are not included..." Roy considered, "Besides, it depends on how well you answer."

"Now that I have been caught, I have never thought about living. Death is the end of life, but it is also the beginning of another period. Roy, swear not to destroy this botanical garden again," Idalan's eyes were calm and unconcerned. Fear, "Use your most cherished honor as a demon hunter and swear by the fragments in your body!"

Roy thought for a moment and did as he was told.

Idalan closed his eyes, remained silent for a while, and gave up resistance. All the anger in the tree body disappeared, his expression became calm, and his sharp and gloomy voice became soothing.

"Let me correct you first. The red light you are talking about is called the Flame of Purification. It is an ability extended by the fragments. Unlike the soul-devouring tentacles you developed, Roy, it will only purify the sins in this world. person."

"What kind of existence is the fragment of the Supreme Being?" Kalkstein interjected,

"The Supreme is the existence that transcends all dimensions. The infinite branches and leaves of the World Tree are controlled by it. These are the original words of Teacher Arzu, the original owner of the fragment."

"I can't give you any further explanation."

……

"Why are you huddled in this dark, dirty and smelly sewer, for more than a hundred years, repeatedly traveling to different battlefields to collect souls?"

Roy asked.

"It's very simple, the soul is the nutrient, which can make the fragments grow, become complete, and awaken its true power. This is consistent with the process that happens to you, and you should have a deep understanding of it."

He sighed sadly, with a trace of unwillingness on his face.

"If one of the fragments hadn't been stolen by you, all this suffering should have ended a few years ago. But it's almost over now..."

……

"Almost? The four great masters and your teacher are taking the final step?" Seret guessed, "Using the complete fragments, just like summoning red light in Mayena Forest, this time summoning a large-scale The flame of purification, purifying the whole world?"

Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat, and their eyes turned to Idalan.

His answer surprised everyone.

"This will not help... The simple truth is that even if all the sinners in the world are killed, the world will not become the ideal world. My teachers, the four great masters, have lived hundreds of years, and they have not So naive."

Roy nodded. He found it unbelievable when he guessed that the world would be purified.

Arzu, you shouldn’t be so simple, right?

"Killing all the sinners, the tragedy that has happened cannot be undone." He continued, with a hint of melancholy in his voice, but his eyes shone with a strange bright light, "The wrong choices in the past are difficult to correct."

"Idalan, be direct and don't make excuses for us!"

The demon hunters felt increasingly uneasy.

"Lambert, the high-inhaled decoction didn't cure your brain damage. Can't you understand it's so simple? They don't want to purify the world!" Aiden said.

“Our efforts from beginning to end are to complete the fragments and reproduce the miraculous power of the Supreme Being.”

"What exactly does it mean? The teacher is unclear, because I did not participate in the last step. I stayed to guard the road for them."

"Are you not qualified?" Lambert said sarcastically, rubbing his bare forehead.

"I am very satisfied with the world and myself, and do not need to make any changes. If it were not for Teacher Arzu, I would not be involved in this action that has lasted for hundreds of years."

"You want to know the answer, the truth about the Supreme, the purpose of the four masters of demon hunters, and my teacher Arzu, why don't you go in and see for yourself..." Idalan said with a hint of confusion, and at the same time, the squirming tree crown looked back. After rubbing the stone door, "All the answers are hidden inside. But you have to be mentally prepared...observe, choose, and follow your heart."

"Aren't you afraid that I will ruin your teacher's plan?" Roy interrupted.

"You came too late. The fragments of the teacher are complete, but you are still incomplete, just like the difference between heaven and earth. How can you affect it?" Idalan said firmly.

"唰"

Three branches were broken.

Serrit crushed a few red berries that rolled down with another kick.

Idalan kept wailing,

"I finally understand. You spent so much time trying to trick us into walking in. Don't you just want us to be burned to ashes by the flames of purification?"

Shu's face suddenly tensed up, and his fluorescent eyes slowly swept across the crowd,

"I understand that most people in the world, including you, have dirty butts! But there is no ray of cleansing flame in them. I feel sorry for the earth under my feet, this beautiful and dreamy botanical garden, and my sacredness. The body of a poplar tree swears... You have defeated me and have come to this point. Do you want to give up halfway?"

Geralt crossed his arms across his chest and suddenly said, "If he had the Flame of Purification, he should have used it against us long ago."

Idalan continued, "I regard you as enemies, but the masters of the Griffin sect, the snake sect, and the wolf sect, my teacher, don't think so. For so many years, they have never been hostile to you. No contact, no interruption attitude."

"They will not set up a plan to harm you!"

Everyone was silent.

My feelings towards the four great masters are extremely complicated.

"If you leave the botanical garden alone, I will open the door for you to see it in person and open your eyes."

"The teacher repeatedly emphasized that there is a huge danger lurking inside the door. If you step in, you will not be able to get out unless you reach the end. However, danger and opportunity coexist, and you can only find it yourself."

It trembled against the crown of the stone gate, looking extremely weak. It branched out a few branches, pressed the ring on the stone gate, and the ouroboros came to life, slowly squirming and spinning.

Gulong

The stone door was separated up and down, revealing a gray, dense fog that swam and squirmed like thick cotton wool, blocking the world inside the door, making it impossible to see clearly from two meters away.

But Roy's temples were beating non-stop, and in this mist, the illusion he had seen before flashed again.

Four men with their backs to him were lingering on the edge of the cliff.

The abyss is vast beneath our feet, and the sky is filled with blood and sun.

……

"Hey, Roy, you don't really plan to go in, do you?" Aiden rubbed his smooth chin and patted his shoulder,

Coral looked at him with bright eyes and shook her head.

Roy took a deep breath, looked at everyone and explained, "My intuition tells me that the answer is inside. If I miss this time, I will forever lose the opportunity to find out."

Cohen took a step forward and walked to the tree. "The Grand Master of Elam is there. I must see him...for Kelda, for Geron Moru, and for myself."

"If you have something wrong with you, what will Igsena do?" Eskar grabbed his arm,

"Brother, help me take care of her."

"..."

"Don't keep Lord Ivar Evil Eye waiting too long..."

The silent bald man stepped forward, his tone unquestionable,

"I also want to see Anahad's power." Cat Vulture clenched the steel sword, walked to the door, and stretched out his hand to caress the erratic mist.

"Master Aiga sent me to reminisce about the past..." A trace of nostalgia appeared on Vesemir's much younger face,

"Okay, count me in!" Lambert sighed and walked to the old man.

"Come back Lambert!" Seret dragged the bald wolf faction back, "Send one person from each school, and the rest stay where they are!"

“Aren’t you cheating? Roy and Leisuo, why are there two in the Snake Faction?”

"Are you stupid? Roy is different!"

"Stop arguing, man, let's do it like this. I, Leitho, Vesemir, Cat Vulture, and Korn will go in. The rest will stay to take care of Idalan!" Roy made the final decision, turned around and held the sorceress in his left hand. With his cold hand, his right hand caressed the hair on the back of her head, and touched her forehead with his forehead. His silver-gray pupils looked at her blue eyes.

"I promise to come back intact."

"Yeah."

The sorceress grinned, her blue eyes shining with trust.

He never let himself down.

"What are you doing, everyone, it's not about life and death!" Oakes clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, grinning with a bright smile, "We were shot in the head and corroded into bones before, but we are all back alive and kicking!"

"This time is no exception!"

He suddenly grabbed Roy's shoulders and shook him.

"As the chief advisor of the Brotherhood, we leave it to you. You must bring them all back one by one! Otherwise, you will look good!"

……

Until the five people disappeared into the mist, the branches of the alder tree were pulled out from the ouroboros stone ring.

The door divided into two halves rumbled and moved, and the central ring rotated and closed.

It fits perfectly.

Card wipe...

The stone gate is completely closed.

Lambert, Oakes, and even the sorceress looked at Idalan's tree face with fierce eyes.

Start gearing up.

"What did I say before, I will chop you into firewood and burn you into charcoal!"

But there was no fear on the latter's withered cheeks, and his fluorescent pupils reflected a martyr-like perseverance and fanaticism.

"Die in a transformed body... My soul will be with my most proud works. Come, let me free... But don't forget your promise!"

The witcher drew his silver sword.

"Everyone, it's not too late to solve this problem after everyone returns safely." Kalkstein smiled warmly at Idalan, "Idalan, I will finally call you master. Let's talk about my research on you. The knowledge in your mind and the information and documents you collected are of great interest."

"It would be a pity for you to die like this. Why not be more generous before you die and make some contributions to the entire magic world?"

……

The mist as cold as running water cuts across the skin.

The door rustled.

No more than five seconds.

Roy was separated from the other four companions.

Obviously they were holding hands to form a human wall.

In an inexplicable moment, there was only a white, boundless thick fog around him. With his excellent eyesight that penetrated the dark night, he could only see two or three meters around him.

The demon hunter's senses were disabled and he couldn't catch any ribbons.

"Letho, Vesemir!"

Roy shouted loudly.

However, the sound drifted not far away and was swallowed up by the moving fog.

It was so weird that I couldn't hear any echo.

He lost his direction in the rolling sea of ​​mist, wandering aimlessly based on pure instinct. ~IndoMTL.com~ I don’t know how long it took.

Roy felt an indescribable feeling of confusion.

Five bright lights lit up in the fog ahead, not too far apart from each other, like five misty lighthouses on the sea.

The light and brightness emitted may be strong or weak, each of which is different.

Roy yelled a few more times, but there was no response.

So I followed my intuition and walked towards the biggest and brightest "lighthouse" in my opinion!

At the same time, Leiso, Vesemir, Cat Vulture, and Cohen, who were lost in the fog, also chose different lighthouses of their own.

……

When Roy made a choice in his mind.

The surrounding fog gradually dispersed strangely.

He appeared in a colorful garden in full bloom.

The sun in the sky is bright red, blooming with warm and genial golden light.

Where?

Am I not in the closed door of the sewer? Why did I suddenly appear outside?

Illusion?

He tried to circulate the magic power in his body smoothly.

Take a deep breath, the fragrant fragrance of flowers comes to your nose, the breeze blows over your cheeks, and the sunshine gives him a healthy blush.

If all this is an illusion, then the creator is probably a god.

As soon as I thought about this, a roar suddenly came from a rose garden not far away.

"The son of a prostitute!"

A young and fierce voice sounded.

Roy looked away

There were three eleven or twelve-year-old children surrounding the flower garden. There is a young master wearing a gorgeous silk coat with neatly trimmed hair, and a girl wearing a hairpin and a ruffled tutu looking like a princess.

Hitting his fingertips on a boy with a dull expression, he cursed.

"Bitch!"

“Ugly monsters jumping out of the mud!”

Roy walked over slowly.
